I am still feeling impressed by your style. You are one of my favourite performers in the Burlesque world. I LOVE character and cheek (double entendre), and you have all that in spades.

I saw your performance last night and had to tell you that your 'Shiver My Timbers' number was very, very impressive. It was entertaining, sexy and fun. Just... wow. I definitely went on the right night!

Tiphany, Audience Member


Sweet Beautiful Ravenna, working with you and the fabulous girls of Sinner saint Last Thursday was such a privilege and a delight. You are such a fantastic performer, and such a lovely lady to behold. But that pales in comparison to your kind wonderful spirit that shines through your eyes. Twas a pleasure mah dear Ravenna!

Trixie Lane, "The Queen of Shame" (Seattle, WA)


Last night was the best burlesque show my eyes have ever witnessed! Your acts were so over the top great! I don't know which one I like better.. they were both sooooooo awesome! WOW WOW & WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob Butler, RJB PHOTO (Seattle, WA)


You put a nice touch of class to the show and made a really memorable experience for the chorus. All of the work really showed. The audience was truly awed.

I want you to know you have my respect as a performer, teacher and choreographer.

I think it's great to be able to do something like this to raise money for such a good cause. It's one thing to do it for a paycheck - I worked as a union stage tech in seattle for 20+ years, you know, but to do it just for the hell of it and raise money for the kids is really cool.

Paul Bryan, Director, NK Options Mystery Dinner Theater (Poulsbo, WA)


What a cutie Ravenna is! Seattle is lucky to have her, but SF is lucky to have her frequent us from time to time.

Ian Dickenson, Lee Presson and the Nails (San Francisco, CA)


Ravenna, you rule. Thanks so much for headlining my show. You're such a great person to work with, and have one of best senses of humor of any I know in the scene.

Guitar Doug, Sinner Magazine (Seattle, WA)


I just got your autographed car pinup picture in the mail today! I'm going to send it to Jake in Afghanistan so he can enjoy it now! You are Absolutely stunning!! You ROCK!!!

The (Hot Mama Burlesque) show just wouldn't have been the same without you!

Raven Snook, Producer, Performer, Writer (New York, NY)

The uber-pro Ravenna Black: This gal defnitely knows how to turn it up to eleven and work a crowd! Once again, you were wonderful to work with on stage. I had no doubt you'd be perfect. I can't wait to do it again.

Jack Dagger, The King of Fling (Los Angeles, CA)
